Summary

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick off the new year with personal updates, including Cam’s family bouncing back from illness and the rare sight of winter snowfall in Texas. A wave of nostalgia follows as they reminisce about childhood favorites like Jolt cola and giant Pixie Stix.

After the casual banter, the episode takes a mysterious turn. The hosts delve into eerie encounters, beginning with the enigmatic Tree People of the Shenandoah Valley. This historically rich region, stretching 140 miles through northern Virginia, is nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Alleghenies. Once the edge of the American frontier and later a pivotal Civil War battleground, the Shenandoah Valley’s past echoes through its preserved landmarks, unique architecture, and vibrant communities.

The intrigue doesn’t stop there. The episode also uncovers chilling stories, including a Not Deer sighting in Chicago, a Skinwalker encounter in Arizona, a possible botched alien abduction, a haunted house built on protected faerie land, and the unsettling discovery of a green metal door standing alone in the middle of the woods. Was it merely an abandoned structure, or could it have been a portal to another dimension?

All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
